Box Office Info
Parallel stories intersect around the true history of the trans-gendered Eugenia Martelli, an Italian immigrant who lives her life as Jack, a hardworking laborer in 1916 New Zealand. Two sets of characters, past and present, come to terms with sexual identities against a backdrop of murder and theatrical intrigue. 
Cabaret
Book by Joe Masteroff

Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Directed by Nancy Saklad
McKenna Theatre
April 19 - 29
Box Office Info
The lives of the singer Sally Bowles and writer Cliff Bradshaw collide in Berlin in 1931 just as the Nazis are coming to power. Set in the seedy Kit Kat Club, the brilliant score takes the songs performed inside the club to comment on the effects of Hitler’s rhetoric: the decadence of Berlin’s cabarets and the Jewish disbelief of systematic extermination.
Three Sisters

October 13 - 23
Chekhov’s humorous and poignant look at a Russian family searching for meaning at the dawn of the modern age. The Prozorov sisters and their brother dream of a new life in Moscow as they struggle with the coarseness of their existence in the provinces. A Russian classic and one of the great masterpieces of modern drama.
